AF due 26th Dec

88 replies

AF due on 26th Dec, trying my hardest not to think about testing, especially since we weren't meant to be trying this month!
I have a ridiculous supply of tests upstairs and so wanting to test on saturday even though I know it's too early.
Not sure why I'm posting as nobody can help, just need to vent!

Anyone in the same boat?

Seems we have the same cycle Boosk I'm also 8, maybe 9 dpo. Yeah I was finding I felt full a lot and apparently it is a symptom!

Also hiya Princesscrystal
Obviously I tested early but most reliable is day AF is due.

Due 28/29/30th here.

Last cycle bizarrely 32 days long so hard to say when I'm overdue. Should know by NYE though! Fingers crossed for all the Christmas weekers! X

Another drinker here..have had a few glasses last night and the night before but am going to knock it on the head now until christmas day I think..I feel wretched today and I was guzzling more from thirst last night than anything!?!

Absolutely symptomless this end aside from a back ache which is a general health niggle.

I feel the same! I had to ask for a jug of water last night :/
My symptoms are all gone so wondering if I had made them all up :(

I think that until I see a bit of abnormal mid cycle bleeding (which I never get) to indicate implantation I'm going to assume we haven't succeeded. I'm 40 and in the last six months pmt has meant so many pregnancy-similar symptoms I know I can really fool myself, so symptom spotting is out for now!

Itchy breasts though Wink

When are you testing Treacle? I'm trying to hold off till Christmas Eve.

Treaclepie19 · 22/12/2013 14:20

Haha, yeah I'm the same with the bleeding.
boosk I'm going to test Xmas morning then wait til AF comes. Im going to the pantomime tomorrow though so may end up testing in the morning as I'll be 10DPO.

It's so hard to resist. I feel like I want to poas every time I go pee, just in case. I know there's no point yet. Smile

due on christmas day - is filling me with anxiety

Tikkamasala · 23/12/2013 02:59

Joining you all as my AF was due on friday 20th, still no sign of it but I got a few negative tests (tested early, I think it was Wednesday, and then tested again Saturday morning). I don't even have any signs that my period is coming, normally get slightly bad skin but its fine... Have been having cramps but don't progress to anything. Feeling a bit sick the last week but not sure if I'm just imagining symptoms Confused I am going to try to just ignore over Christmas and not test. If no AF by dec 26 then I will test again first thing on 27th!

toots123 · 23/12/2013 07:35

Its safe to say ive lost the plot!!

Im 7dpo and ive tested twice already! Dh and I have agreed we should test on 27th but Im sure I'll have tested loads by then haha
after af is here im really going to chill out and not do this next month. Driving myself mad :(

Hi everyone :)
toots I'm going to do the same. Need to calm down next month :(
Tested this morning 10DPO and BFN :(
Pretty convinced I'm not now.

Big temp drop for me this morning so I think it's safe to say AF is on its way. Really hoped this could be it. :(

Butterytoast · 23/12/2013 12:42

I didn't get a bfp until ertd due date (and I had tested every day for a week before that). I am very definitely pregnant now so don't lose hope!!

Hi all, would like to join in the thread! If I was having a "normal" length cycle for me I would have been due on Fri or Sat (20th or 21st) but I had a chemical last month Xmas Sad and no idea when a ov'd as I don't use OPKs or temp charts. Had a BFN on Sat so trying to hold out a few more days before trying again but think I might cave and do one in the morning! Been feeling nauseous and had cramping on and off over the past week, but driving myself crazy thinking symptoms are in my head!! Just want to know whether I can have a drink over the festive period or not!

I am driving myself nuts trying to predict my ACTUAL day of ovulation. Predictor kit said 'fertile' on Monday 16th...but then again on Thursday 19th so I'm assuming those days were my window..all good. So how many days post ovulation am I now would you say?

Treaclepie19 · 24/12/2013 09:27
